Exploration of Type

I have spent some time exploring type, looking at forms and how I can manipulate them. During this time I was inspired to create a typeface using only the sharp angles of the type, adding pin points creating unusual dotted forms. This isn’t a conventional typeface and wasn’t created to read but to explore how far away from the typeface I can get. This is the final outcome. The red dot is seen as a space between each letter and number, I have created this using upper case letters.

I have used a base inspired by the layout of Helvetica created by Max Miedinger in 1957.
